The Choice of Hamilton Democrats,

NoBLEsvILLE, October 20.-[Special. !
On general canvass of our city Democracy
we ind that the first choice on the National
Democratic ticket for 1888 is for Cleveland
and Black. The general opinion is that
President Cleveland has made the best
President we ever had, and that General
Black is an old soldier and a soldiers
friend, and that he would among the
Grand Army boys poll numbers Of votes
for the Democratic cause that could not be
polled by any other man. So we will say:
"Let Her Go Gallagher" and We will be
ready for the ARRAY. The only thing we
need in our county is live Democratic
paper, one that will defend our cause
fearlessly.

The Fly-Catcher i'm Paris.

Fly-catchers have busy time of it
in Paris just now. The calling is not
a recognized or classified one, nor do
parents as rule bring their sons up to
it. But there are hundreds of expe-
rienced hands employed at it during
the dog days, and a good haul of flies
is often profitable enough. The fly
catcher is generally declasse, a good
for-nothing rascal from the suburban
lanes and alleys, who does not want to
leave Paris, and is too lazy to go into
the country for the haymalking or the
harvesting. Sometimes he is per-
son who unites in himself a variety of
callings, being by turns a corner er-
rand-runner, a bootblack, a dog shaver
and clipper, or even frOtteur or floor
waxer out of employment. His n,odus
operandi is as follows: He takes a
tolerably large-sized box with a little
hole in its top, and stations himself
outside q grocer's shop where the
winged insects are busily buzzing
against the window panes, on the look
out for stray drops of molasses or
chance grains of brown sugar; These
the catcher dexterously imprisons in
his palm, in the schoolboy fashion,
and dislocating some of their antenn@,
puts them into his box. Sometimes
he is allowed to pursue his calling in
side the shop, where customers are
not numerous, andis thus enabled to
fill his box with celerity. After few
hours of this exciting kind of sport, he
goes off with his spoil, and disposes OF
It to the people who sell or keep birds.
His best and most open-handed GUS
toners are the frail denizens of the
Quarter Breda or the Quarter de
lEurope, all of whom keep the
feathered pets. They often pay so
good a price to the fy-catcher for his
spoil that he is enabled to 60 home
after successful day with ample
means in his pocket to defray the cost
of bed and board for half a week in
one Of his dingy haunts.-[London

Staring mt an Empress.

recently .animadverted ON the fact
that the Empress OF Austria had been
shamefully and persistently mobbed
at Cromer. Several papers thought
fit to contradict my statement on the
subject. Here is an extract from the
Norfolk Argus, the principal Tory pa
per in the county, which think is
calculated decisively to settle the
question in accordance with my
original statement: "1t has been
fatty denied that her majesty was in
the slightest degree mobbed by the
visitors or residents. fear that the
denial must come from those who
have eyes to see which they do not
use. From my personal observation
and l staid at Cromer during the
greater part of the Empress's visit
her majesty was quietly and persist
emily pestered by nearly everybody
who came within staring distance.
When she landed from the Princess
Louise, the people would flock from
all parts of the beach and stand
around while she was handed out of
the boat and escorted to the hotel by
her footman. The greater number of
on-lookers would even follow her until
she was out of sight and inside her
own door. The fact that her majesty
ha1itually hid herself behind a parasol
and fan whenever she took her
walks abroad, should sufficiently con-
tradict the denials which have been
forthcoming, apparently from sheer
love OF opposition.-[L London Truth.

StrMCk II RiCh.

Several combinations have been
formed during the past three months
for the purpose Of prospecting in the
Coeur d'Alene, Pend O'Reille and
SALMON river mineral belts and the
last-named one Is the first to make a
satisfactory showing. III April last
+. p. Weymouth, j. w. Miller, G..
Clinck, l.. G.. Jackson, V. M. Massey,
James Lynch and III. Il. Hallam
formed a pool and sent Martin Cole
man up to the Salmon river coun-
try to prospect for them.
Martin had done more or less
mining In California and when he
started out on this trip he went in
true prospector's style and with the
determination to make a respectable
showing on his return; and it Is a
pleasure to state that he has done so,
having found and located three as
good claims on Pine creek, about
eight miles northeast of Salmon City
as has yet been brought to light.
The ore Is seemingly entirely diff
Jerent from that found In the imme-
diate vicinity of Salmon and Ruby
city and Is in white and black lime
formation, and from several assays
made from the groupings returns of
675 to 1900 ozs. of silver to the ton
were had. The ore is ola smelling
nature, although the proportions Of
galena it carries is exceedingly
small. The quartz around il carries
large per cent. of silver, while the
ore proper Is almost the pure stuff.
There is no doubt in our minds that
these gentlemen have secured some
of the very best properties yet
found with the indications decidedly
in their favor that as the claims are
developed they will increase in
richness. The nature of the ore
warrants the belief that ruby silver
will be found at no very great depth.
Martin will return In two or three
days with supplies, men, and an out
fit with which the work of develop
ment can be rapidly made. He is
very sanguine of his friends fondest
hopes being fully realized in the
way of securing them at least a
handsome and possibly a good for
tune. The journal trusts that it will
be the latter, and that each of them
will have to divide his share with
us.-Sprague Journal.

NEW WAR SHIPS.
OW THE NATIONS ARE GETTING
READY FOR SEA FIGHTING. 4

no Chicago, Now Fitting Out at tho
Brooklyn Navy Yard - Tho English
"Belted" Orlando--Tho Latest Addi-
tion to the Navy of the French.
The nations of the earth are vying with
ach other In the construction of fighting
,oats. They recognize the fact that tho
'ountry possessing the best navy will have
;reat advantage over her opponents in any
uture wars, and most elaborate preparations
ire making in all quarters of the globe for
,ea fighting. The United States Is not much
If naval power now, but something Is being
lone to improve matters In that regard.
1t is believed that the Chicago, the fourth
and last of tho steel cruisers furnished the
government under the contract with John
Roach, will fully meet her requirements as
to speed. Sixteen knots an hour In smooth
water, or fifteen knots at sea, Is called for.
The vessel made thirteen knots with ease on
the run from Chester to the Brooklyn yard.
The Chicago is the most expensive Of the fleet
50 far. Her hull and machinery cost $3.50 600,
while the Boston and the Atlanta each cost
but S61S, 900, and the Dolphin S3l5,000. The
Chicago engines differ materially from those
of the other boats. She has n twin screw
and two independent compound engines OF
400 horse power each. Her water line
measurement is 325 feet, beam, 4S feet, mean
draught, 10 feet, and displacement, 4,50C
tons Work on this boat was commenced in
August, 1888
, 1887-07-21

Every modern convenience that 1t is possi-
BILE to have on shipboard will be at the dis
posil of the jolly tars who are assigned to
duty on the Chicago. The Edison electric
ight system has been put in, and she Is fitted
With electric bells, speaking tubes, roomy
hath tubs and other conveniences. She will
carry four eight inch guns, eight six inch
and two five inch, fourteen in all. She has
irect forward fire Of two eight inch guns
and two six inch guns, and aft fire Of two
eight inch and two five inch guns. The en-
9ines are protected by the coal bunk
eis, which have o capacity for $50
tons. The hull Is of half inch plates.
The screw and rudder are entirely below
the water line. She has four foot ram.
The crew Of the Chicago will number $50
men, including the engineers force. When
the sea trial is made she will be loaded to a
mean draught Of nineteen feet. Probably II
will be several months before the Chicago is
placed in commission. Secretary Whitney
when inspecting this boat, seemed inclined
to the belief that her iron was light. II the
contract was adhered to, she Is rated only as
n light armored cruiser. This may not be an
objection. **x
1t will be remembered that Congress ap-
propriated 5000 600 for the construction Of
an armored battle ship and an armored
cruiser. The cost of each is to be about
s2.5O0,OO0, not including the cost Of arma-
nent. A board was appointed by the secre-
tary of the navy, and the plans offered by

Major HendershOt,

Maj. r.. III. Hendershot, the
drummer boy" will appear in this
city under the auspices of the Sons
of Veterans and w. G. Il. u, on the
21st and ODD. The Woonsocket Re-
porter, speaking of him, says:
Major Henderson, fulfilled every
expectation and in fact surpassed
his record. II there is any drummer
in the world, that individual has
never performed in Woonsocket.
BY the touch of this master the in
strument becomes animated, and
tells the tale of war in all It's martial
grandeur-the life i'm camp, the
march, the advance, the roar of mus
kerry, shot and shell, cannonading
increasing from desultory firing to
rapid and deafening conclusions, in
fact all the "pride, pomp and cir
cumstance of glorious war;" to
which the ''spirit stirring drum"
gives most realistic existence. His
imitation of locomotive was no
less realistic, and one could almost
see the sparks fly and expect to hear
the shrek of the whistle. That the
drummer and his drum-a silver
one presented by Horace Greeley
and the Tribune association--were
encored again and again was not at
all wonderful, as the performance
would make soldier out of cow
ard. The man who could not march
and fight under the inspiration of
this music would prove an unworthy
defender Of his country.

A BIG Edihce.

Yesterday Contractor Brook signed
contract to furnish 100000 brick
to beused in one structure to be built
in this city this year. This is the
largest single order ever given tor
brick in this city, and means the
construction OF a mammoth building
The reporter is not at liberty to go
into further particulars, but he can
say the building is to go up and that
this season. Some idea may be
formed of the size of the proposed
structure when It Is stated that the
whole number OF brick used in the
gigantic hotel j. N. Squier Is putt
Ing up, with its 700 foot of walls, Is
100000. A million brick will build a
huge edifice, and the one upon which
work Is to commence at once will be
a grand monument to the enterprise
of the Falls, and will surpass in de-
sign, size and finish anything that
has yet been undertaken in the
building line in city that is chock
full of new and handsome buildings,

three decks. M. Lagane was the principal
designer
The greatest length of this monster is SSs

its greatest breadth Is fraction less than 81
feet; the interior widens to "A feet, and the
displacement is 10,5S2 tons. The beak pro-
jects forward 0 feet and 10 inches from
the point of the hull. The hull Is built
ON the cellular system, and covered with
a sheeted deck; above this are two other
decks, making three in all; the upper one
open, the next one for the guns and the
lower one completely inclosed and protected.
The keel alone is Of iron; all the rest is well

3,7S5,O00 kilos N,16O tons, very nearly.
Across 1t are fifteen transverse watertght
partitions, SO that the entire forward part
might be broken Off without sinking the boat.
The cannon are in four revolving turrets

is the second boat Of the kind built,
slightly smaller one having been made
for the Spanish navy and launched on
Feb. last. The weight OF the machinery,

very possibility, and it is supposed
to be able to meet 1t. If the ignor-
ance argument Is good to justify de-
priving the colored people OF the
right of voting il is good against the
principle Of universal suffrage, and
we must go back and repeal the fif-
teenth amendment. There Is no
halfway ground. Universal suffrage
Is either right or wrong. If right, it
must include ignorant blacks as well
as ignorant whites, and in communi-
ties where they are in a majority as
we'll as In those where they are in a
minority. But Mr.. Curtis admits he
says "there is plainly deprivation
of rights conferred by law" If
there is n deprivation of rights
conferred by law" all the sophistry
in the world cannot hide the
fact that there Is wrong
to be righted. Mr.. Curtis,
however, attempts to evade the con-
clusion to which his admission
would lead by asking "would any
humane and intelligent republican
say that the power of the United
could be done at the time-an una
voidable evil. But it was no worse
than the continued and perpetual
deprivations of rights to the colored
people. Intelligent and humane re-
publicans do not desire a revival of
the Moses rule, but they do say the
power of the United States gov
ernment should be employed to en-
force the constitution and laws and
to to secure free and fair elections in
every state in the union. For long
time Mr.. Curtis was one of the in
telligent and humane republicans
who held to this view. 1t is unfor-
tunate that his mugwumpian pro-
clivities have led or forced him into
the position of apologizing for south
ern methods and winking at the de-
privation of colored mems rights.
